This DAC has been well reviewed on the internet. Hifitoday had the following to say about this DAC: "This is a DAC that will play all your digital sources with outstanding resolution and an engaging sound quality that will immerse you into the music. Its performance on native DSD files was phenomenal, exhibiting lush and warm sound that sounds just like analog, at the same time it was able to present PCM files exceptionally well. The smooth treble, lush midrange and extended, textured bass was easily amongst the best I have heard. Added to this is its flexibility of use as a Tube or Solid State device or as a good standalone preamplifier making this DAC a tremendous value. I will be sorry to see it go."
